Mutual inductance between two coils, two ways

The same calculation run twice, side by side. Change anything on either side and the difference is shown output by output. This page is a link: both sets of numbers are in the address bar.

Side A open alone
mH

The self-inductance of the drive coil.

mH

The self-inductance of the pickup coil.

1 if every field line from one coil passes through the other; 0 if none do. Falls off quickly with separation and misalignment.

Side B open alone
mH

The self-inductance of the drive coil.

mH

The self-inductance of the pickup coil.

1 if every field line from one coil passes through the other; 0 if none do. Falls off quickly with separation and misalignment.

Swap sides

What changed

The two sides are the same. Change something on either.

Side A, with its numbers

45mH=0.950mH·50mH
LaTeX
45\,\mathrm{mH} = 0.9 \sqrt{50\,\mathrm{mH} \cdot 50\,\mathrm{mH}}

Side B, with its numbers

45mH=0.950mH·50mH
LaTeX
45\,\mathrm{mH} = 0.9 \sqrt{50\,\mathrm{mH} \cdot 50\,\mathrm{mH}}
